Since 1963, more than three hundred distinguished scholars have visited the Center for periods ranging from six months to one year. They have availed themselves of the Center’s considerable scholarly resources and the invigorating atmosphere of scenic Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan and the main repository of the country’s cultural treasures, to pursue their interests in Southeast Asian area studies. The Center’s multi-disciplinary character and the diverse research interests of its faculty offer visiting research scholars an ideal opportunity for the exchange of ideas and the cultivation of comparative perspectives.
Seven fellowships will be awarded for 2017-2018 on a competitive basis. Fellowships are normally for a six-month duration, although in exceptional cases they can be extended for an additional six months.
Successful applicants will receive an appropriate stipend to cover international travel and living expenses in Kyoto. Research funds will be provided to facilitate his/her work. Funds will also be allocated for domestic travel, subject to government regulations. Visiting Research Scholars are considered as employees of Kyoto University and are therefore subject to some of the University’s regulations. They will be expected to reside in Kyoto for the duration of their fellowship. They are expected to deliver a public lecture during their term at the Center and participate in conferences and other academic activities within Japan as representatives of the CSEAS. They are strongly encouraged to contribute to the Center’s journal, Southeast Asian Studies, the online journal Kyoto Review of Southeast Asia, and other in-house publications, and contribute to expanding the CSEAS’ global alumni network.

G20 – Workshop onMarine Litter

Hamburg, March 7 – 8, 2017

Marine litter is broadly recognized as a critical problem the world’s oceans are facing. Entanglement of and ingestion by wildlife are the most visible implications of marine litter. The quantity of litter entering the oceans has caused – and presumably will remain causing for an unpredictable period of time – serious problems for ecosystem function and the socio-economic environment, respectively.It further poses hazard to navigation, and it facilitates the transport of non-indigenous species, as well as pathogens. Combating marine litter implies meeting our responsibility towards future generations. Transformation towards healthier oceans as recently requested through SDG 14 can only be achieved by promoting cooperation through participatory multi-stakeholder processes. Therefore, finding common grounds to enhance acceptance and progress is indispensable and precondition to reach a good environmental status of our seas and oceans for the benefit of all.

Global waste inputs into the oceans can be brought down dramatically if states collaboratively achieve reductions. The G20 countries account for just over 80 percent of gross world product, three-quarters of global trade and around two-thirds of the world’s population. Its decisions are influential and help to bring about reform at national and multinational levels. Against this background G20 are the appropriate forum to address the issue of marine litter.

Acknowledging commitments taken under various regional seas conventions and programmes, as well as within the G7 Action Plan to Combat Marine Litter, we would like to bring your attention to the first participatory process under the German G20 presidency that aims at finding solutions to reduce the input and distribution of marine litter.

The workshop will take place at the Hotel Hafen Hamburg, Seewartenstraße 9, 20459 Hamburg.

Meeting time will be from 11 am on Tuesday, March 7 until 4 pm on Wednesday, March 8.

Please note: conference language will be English.

Participants should get in touch with Ms Heike Imhoff or Ms Judith Neumann (Heike.Imhoff@bmub.bund.de and Judith.Neumann@bmub.bund.de). The official invitation, a tentative agenda, as well as more practical information will follow in due time.

Climate change will have profound effects on the world’s oceans. Indeed, the impacts are already being felt. The environmental, social and economic consequences will likely be pronounced in coming decades. The impacts of climate change on oceans and seas will also have political implications at all levels – local, national, international and global. Responses to oceanic change will result in winners and losers, and thus will involve politics in all its manifestations. Oceanic change will require politically difficult choices for governments and other actors.
Scientific literature on the role of oceans and seas in climate change is now extensive. In contrast, the body of literature analyzing the political and policy implications of oceanic change is relatively small. This book project will help to address this imbalance by bringing together research findings from political science and cognate disciplines to examine the political and policy dimensions of climate change for the world’s oceans. Climate Change and Ocean Politics will present a snapshot of the current state of knowledge and research in this vital area.
Scholars conducting research on the politics and policy of oceanic change are invited to join the project. All chapters should make explicit connections between climate change, oceans or seas, and politics (broadly defined). Examples of topics that could be explored include the following, but this is not an exhaustive list:
Politics of sea-level rise for island and/or coastal states and/or cities

Other issues that examine the politics of climate change as it relates to seas and oceans
Please send expressions of interest or chapter proposals/abtracts to the following email address by 28 October 2016:
pharris@eduhk.hk

Full chapter drafts are not due at this time. Scholars who are invited to join the project will have several months to submit completed chapters for full review. Please include your name, affiliation, email address, office postal address and telephone number. Questions about the project are welcome.

The challenge of responding and adapting to climate change will drive trillions of dollars of new investment over the coming decades, with major changes required across the economy, in energy production and consumption, industry, buildings, transport, infrastructure, forests and agriculture. Following the Paris Agreement both developed and developing countries have increased commitments for addressing climate change, which will require greatly enhanced capacity in all aspects of carbon finance.

Graduates will be equipped for a career in low carbon investment, carbon markets, consulting, or related policy and regulatory roles. The programme includes specialist courses in energy finance, carbon markets, climate science and policy, carbon accounting and low carbon investment, as well as a carbon consulting project and individual dissertation. Courses are taught by leading researchers and practitioners with extensive experience of energy, carbon and financial markets, and students will benefit from interactions with the University of Edinburgh’s other world-leading Masters programmes in Carbon Management and Global Environment and Climate Change Law. The MSc is highly suited to professionals seeking to develop their careers, and to graduates seeking in specialise in this important growth area.

Will you join us by running an event? https://www.climateinteractive.org/programs/world-climate/world-climate-week-october-2016/

World Climate Week is aimed at engaging people with World Climate Simulations around the world. These mock-UN climate negotiation events will be held just before the actual climate talks in Marrakech. This will offer a concrete moment to generate conversations that can be part of the wave of action that encourages climate action.
In the last five months, volunteer World Climate facilitators have held events that collectively have reached over 5,000 participants around the world. World Climate, Climate Interactive’s simulation of the UN Climate talks, is becoming a critical tool for improving understanding and motivating action since the UN climate agreement was signed in Paris last December.
